Multimedia-based Education in Chip Design: CBT Production and Evaluation

Keywords

Abstract

LogiSyn is a computer based training program (CBT) on
chip design and a representative of numerous recently
created CBTs using our reference model for fast and
economic CBT development with Authorware. In order to
measure CBT efficiency in support to, or even as a
substitution for traditional teaching methods, two
extensive evaluations of students participating in lectures
on chip- and system design are presented. Furthermore,
the concept of a reference model for low-cost low-time
production is sketched: CBT design should only take two
to four times longer than traditional design of printed
lecture material.
